Day 5 - and we just go on...

Morning: 12mL Aloe Gold [gel]
BM: even looser
Mood: happy!
Tolerating overnight [and all] feeds: great! so much less laundry this week!

BM: afternoon, again, loose - and >:( smelly

Got advice that Aloe Gold should ideally be given orally if possible so that it can help the esophagus region. Can do - so mixed half of night dose [+/- 6mL] into Evan's mashed, buttery potatoes - he easily downed this portion. The other half +/-6mL I tried to give as liquid [I should know better: Evan doesn't swallow liquids well - must be thickened] and so part of this was spat out/wasted.

Swallowed easily and with enthusiasm. Great work on 4 tbsp 'taste' feed.

Dinner followed with Ageless Xtra dose 50mL diluted with water [+/- 20mL] via PEG feed [syringe].

Early to bed.
